Infidelity - is the most difficult situation a person can face

Our team of investigators have the abilities to monitor your loved one through video surveillance, vehicle tracking devices, e-mails and internet activity, semen testing and asset searches. If you suspect that your loved one is being unfaithful, your feelings may be correct. Infidelity statistics show that a person's intuition is usually correct. No one knows your mate better than you.

Worker's Compensation

Worker's Compensation

Worker’s Compensation Fraud is one of the fastest growing insurance scams in the nation. We believe that employers “Have The Right To Know” any and all activities their employees are engaged in while receiving benefits. At Powers Investigations, we use a specialized program called PowersWorkTM. Our investigators are specialized in obtaining information through video surveillance of the employee to determine the claim’s validity. Powers Investigations has many years of experience in this area and is contracted by many corporations. Employers, claims adjusters, third party administrators, and self-insurers use our Workers’ Compensation fraud investigation services to assist in identifying and proving fraudulent claims. Our detailed reports are easy to read, and accurately reflect our professional effort and surveillance results. Our investigators are highly skilled and able to conduct activity checks, and other types of investigation to successfully conclude these matters.

What Is A Workers Compensation Investigation?

It is estimated that workers compensation fraud costs the nation many billions of dollars each year. Workers comp fraud basically means that a worker claims an injury he or she does not have or exaggerates the extent of their injury in order to file a worker’s compensation claim. This can allow the worker to claim and receive workers compensation insurance that they are not entitled to.

What can a worker's compensation investigation do?

If you run your own business, are an insurance agent, or otherwise are responsible for employees or workers, a worker’s comp investigation can help ensure that each of the workers filing a worker's comp claim are entitled to the compensation they receive. This not only allows more money to be available for workers with genuine claims, but it also helps limit loss of manpower and loss of insurance money.

Investigators use a variety of techniques to uncover workers compensation insurance fraud:

Surveillance. Investigators may use audio, video, and other types of surveillance to determine whether an individual worker is really as injured as they seem.

Background checks and traditional investigative techniques. A worker's compensation investigator may check medical records, and other records to determine whether a worker is truly injured. They may also run background checks to see whether a worker has filed numerous compensation claims in the past or has been convicted of workers compensation fraud in the past.

Evidence gathering. Workers compensation investigators can gather evidence if they uncover workers compensation insurance fraud. This can help employers and businesses prosecute fraud and cut off workers compensation claims that are not legitimate.

Underpaid workers investigation. Workers compensation investigators can also help workers who are not getting adequate insurance money. If a company or insurance company is not paying workers comp to a genuinely injured worker, a private investigator can gather evidence about the company or insurance company in question. This can help a genuinely injured worker get their money through the court system.

Debugging

In today’s world, almost anyone can easily and cheaply acquire surveillance devices, or bugs, that can be used to invade someone’s privacy. Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM), or bug sweeps can help individuals and businesses protect their privacy.

In a perfect world, no one would need bug sweeps. There are, after all, laws designed to protect individual privacy. In many cases, these laws make it illegal for someone to place surveillance on someone without consent. However, we do not live in a perfect world, and many people use surveillance to spy on other individuals. Some people may want to spy on those involved in litigation, in order to gather evidence that can be used in court or can be used to pressure someone to drop a case. In divorce cases, spouses may spy on each other in order to gather evidence against each other. Affluent people are often the target of spying, since individuals want to gather private information for criminal purposes. Some criminals may use illegal surveillance devices in order to gather information that can be used in identity theft. Businesses are big targets for illegal and covert surveillance, as competitors and criminals try to gather trade secrets, future business plans, and insider financial information from successful companies.

Everyone has a right to privacy, and bug sweeps and other counter surveillance measures can ensure that private information stays private.

What is involved in an Inverse Surveillance Service?

A TSCM survey will usually involve a professional investigator or investigators who will audit a company’s technical security. Investigators will conduct visual, electronic, and physical investigations of company systems that may be affected by technical surveillance measures. If any security problems are found, investigators can use counter measures or can gather evidence so that the company can pursue legal action against those individuals involved in the technical security breach. Bug sweeps and other counter surveillance measures work in a similar way, although, unlike TSCM surveys, they may not just consider technical spying. Bug sweeps and other measures usually involve an investigator who is trained to find surveillance measures. This person will use special equipment as well as visual and physical investigation to find any evidence of spying. If any security problems are found, the investigator will report the problem. In some cases, investigators will also work to find out who is responsible for a specific security problem.

Are There Different Types of Bug Sweeps?

Since there are different forms of spying, there are different types of counter surveillance measures as well. Technical security measures include vulnerability audits, TSCM surveys, SCIF Inspections, bug sweeps, wiretap detection, In Place Monitoring (IPM), TSCM sweeps, Off Site RF Monitoring, and many more. These services tend to be used by retail and business customers, although some services (such as bug sweeps and wiretap detection) can also be used by individuals who may have a security problem.
